How can I linearize Monochrome Mode to get good screen-to-print matching for B&W Images?


Question: How can I profile my iPF printer for black and white using a spectrophotometer?

Answer:

  1. Select a Canon Media Type that has Monochrome photo mode available in the photoshop plugin
  2. Then use the technique with Quadtone Rip described in this Outback Photo article

Note: Many posters report that they prefer to print B&W photos in color mode using a custom profile. This also allows
for tinting/toning and useful softproofing, without any loss of quality.
